Easter is the celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead.

The Easter holiday is one of the most important celebrations in Christianity, and is celebrated by millions of people around the world. The holiday has been celebrated for centuries, and dates back to ancient times. However, Easter has changed over time and has been called by many different names throughout history. While it’s commonly known as Easter today, it was also once called Pascha or Pasqua in Latin. The word “Easter” comes from a Germanic word that means “to dawn” or “to be born”.

While there are many theories about how the name Easter came to be used for this holiday, most historians agree that it came from the name of an Anglo-Saxon goddess named Eostre. This goddess was associated with springtime and fertility. She was also often depicted as a hare or rabbit because rabbits were seen as symbols of fertility at that time.
